    His passion and determination is so admirable. He understands what it's all about. The guy will give it all on the field and that's all you can ask for.

    A proper, proper battler. Not bad at football either!

    Was excellent today. Must be tough for Tony but he's undroppable at the moment.

    He was excellent and has been really consistent since he came in.

    Would still like to see him get forward more but he’ll learn.

    I was the best right back ever (i wasnt even the best in my street) and played for Motherwell diocese, and a few big teams as a boy, my favourite players have always been right backs second only to goalies for being mental *.
    AJ, you have picked up the mantle from Micky Lustig and my new love man crush!!

    Tbf he was pinging some balls forward.

    His debut was decent but you can see he is being moulded into a Celtic right back. He used to turn back when he had the ball. I know it's getting used to your team mates and the system but he was aggressive in defence and attack.

    I have loved him since day one.

    He’s got a bit of devilment in him, I * love it.

    Don’t think opposition players expect it cos he seems a wee happy smiley guy but he’s got a wee nasty streak there, and he * loves a physical battle, thrives on it. He’s only going to keep getting better, he’s a very good defender, think we’ve yet to see how good he can be going forward, and when that clicks for him we’re onto a player

    Little bit OT but he reminds me a bit of Pontus Wernblom who played for Swedens NT. A smily * who played dirty as * :56:

    Great game today. He stood up when it mattered. Handled the biggest occasion with ease. Even put in a belter of a cross that should have been thrashed home.

    Would say he was brave and irrepressible. Well done lad.

    Yeah I love a smiling assassin myself. They are the real hard men of the game - they don't have to get super riled up or put on a tough demeanor to get physical but when they hit you you know you've been hit.

    He is exactly the type of player that i love seeing at the club. He is a Broony / Lustig type player. We did strengthen by letting JJ go and bring this guy in. Amazing business (as usual really.....)
